Jay: “Same Stars” by The Vindys
Jay’s Pick of the Week is “Same Stars” by The Vindys this week! Formed in Youngstown, Ohio, in 2014, this trio has continued to push the boundaries of what they can accomplish as a band. With three albums and an EP under their belt (and another on the way ;), The Vindys are consistently releasing diverse arrangements that draw listeners in. Their recent single, “Same Stars,” does just that as a teaser of their upcoming album titled Trap Door. In “Same Stars,” the piano dominates the song rather than the regular guitar sound, but the lyrics continue to build and build as a lower sound echoes throughout. Their new album Trap Door is out April 10th, so presave/pre-order now!

Dan: “Sucker Punch” by Betty Taylor
This week, Dan chose “Sucker Punch” by Betty Taylor for his DJ Pick of the Week! This all-female quartet, hailing from Australia, they’re the band that holds your hand after you’ve gotten your heart broken. A blend of Phoebe Bridgers and The Beaches, members Sophie Patrick, Kayla Smart, Claire Chittick, and Katie Ishaque are constantly on the up-and-up as they curate new music for their fanbase. Their latest single, “Sucker Punch,” is an earworm that makes the listener want to get up and dance! A beachy vibe with lyrics that talk about falling back in love after swearing you never would again, Betty Taylor wraps up the complicated feelings of love into an indie pop song.

Stephanie: “Snow White” by Ghinzu
“Snow White” by Ghinzu is Stephanie’s DJ Pick this week! Formed in 1999 in Brussels, Belgium, Ghinzu has now returned after a 17-year hiatus. Ghinzu is a band that does not like to stay in one place, but their Queen-and-Nirvana-blended sound has stood the test of time. Their second single from the new album, “Snow White,” intertwines multiple stories into one hypnotizing song. Each story has a forefront of addiction, and those listening will feel addicted to the song after playing. Their first album in 17 years, W.O.W.A, is set to be released on May 29th, so presave/pre-order now!

Rev. Keith: “IRL” by Devon Gilfillian
Rev. Keith’s Pick of the Week is “IRL” by Devon Gilfillian! Based here in Nashville, Devon has continued to stun audiences as his soulful songs echo through the ears of many. His upcoming album is one that he has been working towards for his whole career, and the singles released so far prove that. “IRL” is about how so many are tired of digital life and want something real.
